Barry Manilow rushed to hospital in LA
Published reports say local resident and pop star Barry Manilow was rushed to a hospital in Los Angeles Thursday.
The 72-year old singer, just played a sold-out show in Memphis, and was taken to a Los Angeles hospital “due to complications from emergency oral surgery he underwent earlier in the week” his management team said in a statement.
The unplanned hospital stay has forced Manilow to postpone shows scheduled for Thursday and Friday, although his managers said they would be rescheduled.
Manilow, who has suffered a series of health scares over the years, has said that his ongoing tour will be his last. It is scheduled to end on June 23 at the O2 Arena in London.
